Interpreting our universe can be difficult, but science, philosophy and culture can together play a huge part in explaining our place within it. The Story of Light (SOL) festival – that will take place in Goa, India on 14-18 January 2015 – has been conceived under the framework of IYL 2015, to celebrate life and the universe, and is championed by collaborations between artists and scientists. The festival has three main goals: to increase public awareness of quantum physics and our universe; to spur new philosophical perspectives on the nature of reality; and to encourage society to ponder light technologies for sustained development.
